Agencies How It Works

ClearPay 4 Step Process

AcordPay ClearPay - Graph 2.png

The current process of settling monthly agency bill accounts and one-time payments (midterm policy changes, NSFs on direct bill business) is antiquated and overly complex. Carriers currently invoice amounts that may differ from that in a brokerage’s BMS, the payment process is not secure, is heavily paper based and takes away value from the operations of brokerages and carriers.

1. Submit Payment from BMS

2. Notification and approval process

3. Posted to ClearPay™, Reconciliation Report to carrier

4. Carrier Receives Payment and Account Summary

How is ClearPay different? Payments via ClearPay to the carrier are initiated by brokerages within their BMS in the same manner as is done now to issue a cheque. Payment schedule is then established by ClearPay and policy reconciliation data is remitted to the carrier. ClearPay works within Canadian Banking protocols and is compliant with all insurance regulatory authorities in transferring funds directly from the brokerage’s to the carrier’s account.

How Does ClearPay Compare?

3. Cheque and data reconciliation report are mailed

Phone calls/emails back and forth between brokerage and carrier on reconciling statements

2. Cheque is recorded stored

3. Data reconciliation is done against report received

ClearPay

Brokerage initiates payment and data reconciliation report from their Broker Management System and ClearPay web service.

Data reconciliation report is transmitted over secure lines to insurance company.

Funds are deposited directly to insurance company's bank account on specified date.

  • Request required approval and signatures (x2)

  • Generate outgoing envelopes

  • Send Reconciliation data to carrier

  • Call courier/put stamps and deposit at mailbox

  • Hope cheques/data make it to carrier.

ClearPay Process:
